Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Ghost Treasure
Xu Guang ignored Su Yan’s thoughts and frowned.
Everything in the courtyard had been turned to ruins by General Wei’s rampage and savage trampling.
But a small house on the western side...
Remained standing from beginning to end, clearly looking like a dangerous building, yet capable of resisting the violent Yang Qi radiating from General Wei.
Su Yan and the others also noticed this.
"Xu Guang..."
"Don’t co in!"
Xu Guang interrupted harshly.
The Yin energy in this courtyard was too strong right now, and without the sunlit aura from General Wei’s body, anyone entering would find the Yin Qi invading their bodies. They wouldn’t fall into a sickly state like an ordinary person, but their vitality and blood would be greatly depleted.
His eyes were fixed on the small house in the courtyard, a strange gleam slowly surfacing in his eyes.
The Celestial Register, specially brought out by him, started to emit a gentle warmth at its top.
"Still not willing to co out?"
"General Wei, charge over there, let
see what is pretending to be a ghost here."
General Wei responded excitedly and rushed forward with Xu Guang.
Just as the ivory was about to press against the small wooden house, a thick black mist erupted, akin to a mushroom cloud explosion. This was real black mist, visible to the outside world, containing power that had reached into the material realm.
Everything in the small courtyard vanished from Su Yan and the others’ sight.
"Xu Guang!" Su Yan shouted.
There was no response.
Her face instantly turned grim.
Before reaching the Innate stage, martial artists are at a complete disadvantage against Yin Ghosts, relying only on their own fervor to drive away the Yin Ghosts. But to obliterate them is truly difficult.
The Sheep and Deer Generals stepped forward, blocking Su Yan’s impulse to enter.
"Yan Gu, you must not go in."
They might have simple minds but they’re not fools, Su Yan absolutely cannot co to harm.
Su Yan’s face was as calm as water, she glanced at the two, saying nothing more.
...
General Wei’s ivory still pressed against the small wooden house, and amidst the crisscrossing of black Qi, Xu Guang saw sothing different.
A strange human figure, whose face was deathly pale, with eyes and lips reduced to a single black line, stood at the window, glaring at him venomously. Gender was indiscernible.
Sensing Xu Guang’s gaze, the woman suddenly pressed her whole face against the wooden window, her pallid visage distorting severely, as if boneless, blood seeping.
Originally, Xu Guang thought he would be very scared encountering such a Yin Ghost.
But now...
He felt like laughing sowhat.
This level of creepy trickery couldn’t frighten him at all.
Just as he was about to speak, the woman suddenly vanished.
Soon, an intolerable creaking sound ca from the small wooden house above.
All of a sudden, Xu Guang felt a chill on his back, as if sothing rushed at him.
Turning around, he saw the strange woman he had seen before, appearing ters away.
Was it teleportation?
In the blink of an eye...
The woman was even closer.
Blinking again...
The woman collided with General Wei and then... was flung backward.
A pitiful scream nearly resounded throughout all of Qingshuo County.
The terrifying Yang Qi, suppressed and trapped within five ters of General Wei, violently emitted outwards at that mont.
Xu Guang slowly raised his hand, giving the ghost woman a thumbs-up.
"You’re really sothing."
The thing about Yin Ghosts is they fear those brimming with Yang Qi most, even if the person lacks ans to specifically repel Yin Ghosts.
The term ’Spirit Guidance for Tigers’ implies that tigers have inconceivably abundant Yang Qi, and their skin naturally harbors a mystical suppressive power. Hence, mountain ghosts encountering a Mountain Monarch are easily captured and turned into subordinate spirits.
Even without the techniques of a Mountain Monarch, General Wei now had not only the blood of the Kunlun Beast flowing within him but also... a Dragon Vein!
The ghost woman was oozing black blood all over, wailing madly, screaming, her venomous eyes even more sinister, as though she wanted to devour soone.
Xu Guang grew more composed, confirming General Wei’s restraining effect on Fierce Ghosts.
At the sa ti, the aura he exuded slightly intensified, making him feel more secure.
[Horizontal Pressure] took effect.
So...
’You’re not even Seventh Grade? Then what are you being so arrogant for!?’
Xu Guang instantly raised a silver thread in his hand, shifting the position of a Broken Spear among a few weapons he previously arranged. In a flash, the Qiankun Small Array transford, launching a horrifying suppressive force that only the Fierce Ghost could sense.
Instantly subduing the ghost woman.
She staggered just as she was about to stand up.
The female ghost, seemingly devoid of fear, charged at Xu Guang with a frenzied roar, like a beast trapped in battle.
"General Wei, stomp her, but don’t crush her completely."
General Wei was already itching with anticipation. For so reason, upon seeing this female ghost, he felt an irresistible urge to stomp her to death.
Yin and Yang are inherently opposed.
Especially with his extrely Yang body, when faced with such an extrely Yin and evil existence as the female ghost, the innate loathing in his heart was amplified by the [Encourage].
Ah~!!
The female ghost’s scream was still earth-shattering. Xu Guang had prepared in advance, covering his ears tightly.
Unexpectedly, General Wei had also learned from experience, folding his large fan-like ears to block out the sound.
[Feng Shui Master’s Log: Suppressed an unford fierce ghost, improved the Feng Shui of an area, experience
120]
The experience of a Feng Shui Master is indeed nurous.
This fierce ghost was roughly equivalent to a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, but the experience from killing a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist should be around fifty points. The additional experience likely ca from improving the Feng Shui of this courtyard.
Without thinking much, Xu Guang landed and signaled General Wei to lift his jade foot.
He wanted to see what the ghost’s corpse was.
However, what he hadn’t expected was that when General Wei lifted his foot, it revealed an irregular black coagulum, giving off an extrely sinister and evil feeling.
Do ghosts leave behind essence after dying?
Xu Guang was slightly surprised as he picked up the stone.
"When a dog dies, there’s a dog treasure; when a donkey dies, there’s a donkey treasure; let’s call this a ghost treasure."
’With this, using Feng Shui arrays to let the Yin Qi taint my aura, and then infusing this Yin Qi into the Celestial Register, it should allow for the initial use of the Celestial Register.’
This was Xu Guang’s own thought. He wasn’t aware of the official thod to use the Celestial Register, but he believed his way should be feasible.
As the female ghost died, the Yin Qi polluted by the female ghost in the vision gradually dissipated with the sunlight.
Everything in the courtyard reappeared before Su Yan and the others.
Seeing Xu Guang, they were initially shocked, but imdiately followed by joy.
"Dharma Protector Xu, what about the female monster in the courtyard?"
Xu Guang glanced at the eagerly questioning Sheep General and then politely cupped his fists towards Su Yan.
"Glad to have fulfilled the mission."
With one sentence, the surroundings fell into a respectful silence.
Then ca a series of deep breaths.
Su Yan couldn’t help but take two deep breaths. It was actually... resolved.
This Xu Guang...
In the Feng Shui skill, he had indeed achieved sothing.
In such a short ti...
Su Yan grew increasingly enthusiastic, inviting Xu Guang and General Wei to the black market.
General Wei was so large that even the black market’s signboard had to be removed.
Both General Wei’s displayed ferocity in battle and Xu Guang’s thod of using Feng Shui to suppress the Yin ghost left Su Yan and the Sheep and Deer Generals utterly convinced.
As for what their subordinates thought, they couldn’t care less.
Su Yan also ntioned the small wooden house in the black market that had caused several people to disappear.
Xu Guang had no objections. Upon seeing the small house, he nonchalantly requested Su Yan to gather so jade and weapons used by Martial Artists, setting up a Qiankun Small Array to suppress it.
This small house was highly likely the place where the female ghost was born!
There must be a treasure here nurturing the Yin ghost, but from Xu Guang’s current perspective, that treasure hadn’t fully developed yet.
He didn’t destroy it further but intended to try using the ghost treasure to refine the Celestial Register. If the effects weren’t satisfactory, he might have to rely on this place to nurture the Yin ghost.
"This place can’t be resolved for the ti being, but I have set up a Feng Shui array. It will be safe for a short period, so the workshop master can rest easy."
Although Su Yan was a bit disappointed, upon hearing this, she still thanked Xu Guang solemnly.
She now felt more confident that her previous decision was entirely correct. For soone like Xu Guang, he must be drawn in, whether for his accomplishnts in Feng Shui or alchemy, it already warranted her favor.
Moreover, Xu Guang also promised to help her ta a Great Beast when the ti was right.
Having witnessed General Wei’s prowess, Su Yan was eagerly anticipating it.
"This incident counts as
owing you a favor. In a few days, a batch of goods will arrive, and I’ll give you the list. Pick whatever you want first!"
Xu Guang raised an eyebrow, "Including those that are already spoken for?"
Su Yan waved generously, "Of course, in this black market, anything you have your eyes on is yours."
Her voice had a peculiar tone.
Xu Guang chuckled and said no more.
However, regarding this matter, Su Yan also made a gesture; the archery skill and matching bow she had asked her to find not long ago had also been traced.
The arrow skill is called [Fallen Dragon]!
The bow is the Snow Dragon Bow, and the arrow is the Black Horseshoe Crab Arrow.
Xu Guang was very satisfied with this. The set of bow and arrow was worth a fortune. Along with a top-grade Seventh-Grade dicinal Material from the black market’s hidden stash - the Red Sun Lotus, it was gratitude for this incident.
